A handwritten note taped to the staff room coffee machine this morning informed employees that the machine would be out of service until further notice. According to the note, the grinder jammed yesterday afternoon and, in trying to clear it, someone accidentally knocked the water tank loose, causing a small leak onto the counter. Facilities has been contacted and a technician is expected sometime tomorrow, though no exact time was given. In the meantime, staff are asked to use the instant coffee and kettle provided in the cupboard beside the fridge, or to bring their own from home. The note also reminds everyone not to attempt to fix the machine themselves, since two people already tried and made the leak slightly worse. A sign-up sheet has been placed nearby for anyone willing to chip in for a replacement machine.
